[RESOLVED] Setting up Variables

[Fuzzylr]

How come when I use these lines my php goes nuts.

$name = isset($_POST['name'])  ? trim($_POST['name'])  : '';

parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in index.php on line 7

I get those errors.

However, I've seen it used in other examples with no errors.

It looks correct to me. Check the previous line for a syntax error, e.g., a missing terminating semi-colon.

that's just it. I can't see anything. Here is the full code.

<?php 
session_start(); 
include ('config.php');
include ('body.php');
include ('reg.php')

if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
	$errorname = '';
	$name = isset($_POST['name']);

if(strlen($name) < 5) $errorname = 'Your name must contain more than 5 characters';

if(strlen($name) > 14) $errorname = 'You can not exceed more than 14 characters';

else $errorname = 'Function is working as intended';

}

?>

Well I found this....

include ('reg.php')

changed to

include ('reg.php');
